The Bendis Tapes Pt 1 : A Hard Days Moon Knight

On this opening salvo to this season’s Bendis Tapes, we start
with a closer look at the new Moon Knight series beginning in May.
After a mixed reaction to last week's Marvel press conference
Bendis addresses the initial concerns old time Marc Spector fans
have with the idea that his 3 multiple personalities have doubled
to include Steve Rogers, Spider-Man and Wolverine .

We talk about Takio the all ages graphic novel from Brian and
his Powers co-collaborator Mike Oeming

On the Marvel movie front, Bendis gives a non detail disclosing
thumbs up to the Thor film, and more importantly describes the
environment of the meetings with Thor director Kenneth Branaugh .
You’ll also hear behind the scenes details of the last Marvel
retreat, which was the first led by new Editor In Chief Axel
Alonso.

We also get updates on the many TV projects Bendis has in the
works. You’ll hear about Powers at FX, AKA Jessica Jones at ABC and
Ultimate Spider-Man at Disney XD.

Finally, we begin to answer question posted at Brian’s Jinxworld
message board, which cover big picture topics like how social media
has improved the comics fandom -creator relationship.
